Randy Pettapiece says he’s “disappointed” that money intended for rural Ontario is going to the GTA.

The Perth-Wellington MPP says they’ll be going after Premier Kathleen Wynne over the issue:

The Rural Economic Development Fund was first announced last September and only a few days later it was revealed that some of the money had been given to the GTA businesses.
